Answer:

Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties.

Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition.

The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

The second part of the theory says all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.

The third part says compounds are combinations of two or more different types of atoms.

The fourth part of the theory states that a chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

Parts of the theory had to be modified based on the existence of subatomic particles and isotopes

How many kilograms of a fertilizer are made of pure P2O5 would be required to supply 1.69 kilogram of phosphorus to the soil?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

3.89 kg P2O5 must be used to supply 1.69 kg Phosphorus to the soil.

Explanation:

The molecular mass of P2O5 is

P2 = 2* 31 = 62

O5 = 5 *<u> 16 = 80</u>

Molecular Mass = 142

Set up a Proportion

142 grams P2O5 supplies 62 grams of phosphorus

x kg P2O5 supplies 1.69 kg of phosphorus

Though this might be a bit anti intuitive, you don't have to convert the units for this question. The ratio is all that is important.

142/x = 62/1.69 Cross multiply

142 * 1.69 = 62x combine the left

239.98 = 62x Divide by 62

239.98/62 = x

3.89 kg of P2O5 must be used.

b. increase in surface area

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Speeding up a chemical reaction

Required

Factors used to speed up reactions

Solution

There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :

1. Concentration

2. Surface area

3. Temperature

4. Catalyst

5. Pressure

6. Stirring

Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Heat is absorbed causes the particles of matter to move faster so that the reaction can take place faster

The enlarged surface area of the reactants causes more particles to react with other particles.

What type(s) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: brass (a copper-zinc alloy), rubber, barium sulfi

mr_godi [17]

The force of attraction that results in holding of atoms or ions together in a molecule or crystal is said be bonding. Bond formation can take place by either attraction or transfer of electrons. There are single, double, and triple bonds. There are many types of bonding namely:

Covalent (sharing of electrons takes place).

Ionic (transfer of electrons takes place).

Metallic (ionized atoms of metals and the sea of electrons around them).

Brass (a copper-zinc alloy)

Brass is an alloy of metal that is copper and zinc. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

Rubber

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is isoprene, which is a covalent compound. The isoprene units are attached in repeated units to form rubber by covalent bonding.

Barium sulfide ( $BaS$ )

Due to the large electronegativity difference between barium and sulfur, barium sulfide is an ionic compound. Thus, ionic bonding is present in barium sulfide.

Solid xenon

Only xenon atoms are present in solid xenon which are interacted by weak Van der Waal's interactions.

Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of metal that is copper and tin. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

Nylon

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is caprolactam, which is a covalent compound. The caprolactam units are attached in repeated units to form nylon by covalent bonding.

Aluminum phosphide ( $AlP$ )

Aluminum phosphide is a covalent compound and thus involves covalent bonding.

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 j/g°c which equation would you use

cestrela7 [59]

Since there's specific heat, you should use Q=mc△T. Depends on if this question also involves phase change or not, you might will need Lf (latent heat of fusion) or Lv (latent heat of vaporisation).
